Commentary

L’insurrection a lieu du 5 au 8 mai 1945. Elle oppose la résistance tchèque aidée par l’Armée de Libération Russe de Vlassov aux troupes allemandes. Une trêve est conclue le 8 mai afin de permettre l’évacuation des civils allemands et des restes du groupe d'armées Centre vers la ligne de Front américaine. En échange, la ville est préservée de la destruction. Le 9 mai, la ville est entièrement libérée grâce à l’arrivée des troupes soviétiques.
The uprising took place from May 5 to 8, 1945. It pitted the Czech resistance, aided by Vlasov's Russian Liberation Army, against German troops. A truce was concluded on May 8 to allow the evacuation of German civilians and the remnants of Army Group Center to the American front line. In exchange, the city was spared from destruction. On May 9, the city was completely liberated thanks to the arrival of Soviet troops.
